Pre-Employment Screening

Comprehensive background screening for employment decisions, covering identity, education, employment history and integrity checks, conducted with candidate consent and legal compliance.

Make Confident Hiring Decisions with VERIS

Hiring the wrong person is one of the most costly risks an organisation can face. At VERIS, we help organisations reduce hiring risk through clear, factual, and compliant pre-employment screening, giving you confidence at every stage of the hiring process.

Pre-employment screening — also referred to as employee background checks — is a critical component of modern hiring. It goes beyond CVs and interviews to verify credentials, uncover inconsistencies, and identify potential red flags before an employment decision is made.

Why Pre-Employment Screening Matters

Pre-employment screening helps organisations:

Verify that candidates are who they claim to be.
Confirm the accuracy of education and employment history
Identify undisclosed criminal, litigation, or integrity issues
Reduce exposure to fraud, misconduct, and reputational risk
By uncovering information that may not surface during interviews, screening enables informed, risk-based hiring decisions aligned with organisational values and regulatory expectations.

Core Categories of Pre-Employment Screening

Our screening checks typically fall into three key categories:

Identity Verification

Confirms a candidate’s identity and personal details, ensuring the individual being screened is the same person presenting themselves for employment.

Integrity

Identifies potentially adverse information such as criminal records, litigation history, sanctions exposure, or other integrity-related concerns that may impact suitability for a role.

Credential Verification

Validates a candidate’s education, professional qualifications, and employment history, helping organisations confirm that qualifications and experience are accurate and genuine.

Consent-Based & Compliant Screening

All pre-employment screening conducted by VERIS is performed with the candidate’s written consent.
